Rep. Ed Markey, candidate for the U.S. Senate, is an extremist whose policies have and will continue to destroy American jobs and facilitate the transfer of American prosperity and wealth to our foreign competitors and, in some cases, our enemies.

His environmental policies, if allowed to be implemented, would drive up the cost of gasoline, home-heating costs and electric costs for every middle-class family in the country. They would put American employers at a competitive disadvantage to our foreign competitors by making domestic energy costs significantly higher for manufacturers, distributors, producers, and innovators. They would enhance the prospects and profitability of foreign energy producers like Russia, Iran and Saudi Arabia.

His social policies would force all middle-class families in America to be dependent on the federal government for their health care, housing and employment. Rep. Markey's policies would destroy social mobility and doom the American economy to mediocre European style economic growth, lacking any hope of improving ones standard of living through hard work.

The vast majority of voters in the commonwealth are independents. Rep. Markey is a socialist disguised as a liberal democrat. It is time for the independent majority to have representation in Washington. I urge all my fellow residents to support Mr. Gomez in his quest to represent us in the U.S. Senate.
